Bless your heart, you are an angel sent from OOTP heaven.

I've been trying to get rid of coaches for probably 5+ years real time with no such luck. Hopefully you have a better run at it than me.

I vote YES!!!

My biggest problem with coaches are that they're only required in the ML. It needs to be all or none imo. The salary discrepancy between using them vs not is on avg probably around $3M-$4M. Thats quite a lot for something you cant say definitively has a large affect. My stance is, if you're not going to enforce them on minor league teams, then just get rid of them. They dont do anything to add to the immersion.

Not sure if I should be happy or upset if this one passes...maybe a bit of both!

This poll proves the anti-Shel vote is a real thing

I actually like coaches....because putting time into finding the right one actually affects development.

This poll might as well been titled "I'm too lazy to care about my minors" to me.

Also, fuck Sheltown.

i vote get rid of them. GobOne, your point is right and also why we should get rid of them. once we stopped 'requiring' them in the minors then guys stopped developing their coaching skills

so now there are hardly any good ones

The problem is that they make very little difference, if any, to a players development.
So they are, in a sense, a waste of time.

How do you know this? Where is the proof. This is like saying keeping max development affects development. People think it, nobody knows for sure.

they know, they just arent saying cause it would break the game

I agree AJ, they don't want to admit that they have no impact, cause then everyone would stop using coaches.

I voted yes to get rid of coaches but I do like them. It's a pain in the ass to keep up on hiring, especially when the export doesn't go through.
I have a prefers power pitcher pitching coach and I like to think he helps the power pitchers I bring up to MLB, but I can go without em.

Moose Jaw with the recent heel turn got me looking like a babyface.
